untag built image after push to bound the dind image store

image-build loads each build into the runner pod's dind (load: true); the
tags then accumulated forever (dozens of stale 2-3GB tags per pod, a chunk
of the runner disk growth). Untag after a successful push and sweep the
now-dangling previous :latest. The buildkit build cache is separate and
refcounts its own layers, so the next build stays warm; when the repo is
'runner' itself the pod's next job re-pulls the ~380MB job image from the
local registry (cheap). Guarded (continue-on-error + || true) so cleanup
never fails a release.

# image-build loads the built image into the runner's dind (load: true).
# Nothing needs the local tag after the push, but the tags used to pile up
# forever in the pod's dind image store (dozens of stale 2-3GB tags). Untag
# after pushing to reclaim the store; the buildkit BUILD cache is separate
# and refcounts its own layers, so the next build of this image is still
# warm. (When THIS repo is `runner`, untagging :latest costs the pod's next
# job one ~380MB re-pull of the job image from the local registry — cheap.)
# The image prune sweeps the now-dangling previous :latest that a re-tag
# orphans; it only removes untagged images no container/tag references, so
# shared layers survive.
